Introduction
The Big (Performance) Picture

WebISO is first and foremost a document change management system with effective revision control features.

1. WebIso gives you control over the creation, distribution and maintenance of procedure manuals (like those used for quality or environment control).

2. WebISO allows complete freedom in manual creation. Composition, page layout, formatting all can be fully customized. And the only tools you need to build or view manuals are the tools you already know -- like your favorite word processor or Internet browser.

3. WebISO is a fully web-based solution. So if you use it on your intranet, all necessary processes to handle quality management reside on your standard corporate network. This has the following advantages:

--The latest versions are all centralized on the intranet server;
--The system is accessible by anyone from their own workplace using standard web browsers.

--Embedded hyperlinks make it easy for users to understand, and straightforward for IT personnel to maintain.

Integrates intelligently with your own email environment.

WebISO automatically integrates with your corporate email system.
This means that standard email is used to send requests for approval to the right people, and to notify concerned end-users (viewers) about changes in documents or about the availability of new documents in the manual.


Support for rich media types

WebISO supports all kinds of multimedia data types: pictures, images, video, sound, flowcharts, graphics, and more.

With Visio and iGrafx FlowCharter, WebISO goes one step further: our system makes sub-elements in a drawing become hyperlink-sensitive.

This means that a user can click on a sub-element and immediately navigate to other parts in the same document or to another document in the manual.


WebISO feature overview:

Automatic hyperlinks
(From Applied hypotenuses to Zoroastrian hypotheses)
WebISO automatically generates hyperlinks between different documents within a manual.

If, for example, the title of a document is found in the body of any other document, then Web ISO will create an automatic hyperlink to that document. This feature makes procedure manuals much more usable. It ís like automatic cross-referencing.

External documents
WebISO supports uploading all types of external documents through your browser. Any of these external documents, once loaded in your browser, can be used within WebISO and subsequently saved in a project directory or sent by email.

Users & Security
WebISO gives you full control over the relationship between users and documents. You can define for each user the access he or she can have for each specific document (read, create, write, modify, delete, move).

Tight management is accomplished through the use of logical groups of users (e.g. sales department, logistics, the admin group). Users can belong to multiple groups, automatically giving them the rights attached to each separate group. As an example, the manager of the admin group has access not only to the documents pertaining to admin, but also to management-specific information.

Likewise, documents can be grouped logically (e.g. sales procedures, operational workflow). The combination of user and document groups makes access management even easier, yet more powerful.

WebISO provides complete security access. Every action in WebISO can be secured, giving you total control over who can do what, when and how.


Document templates
You can use your own pre-defined document templates in WebISO. This way you can be sure to have a consistent layout throughout your procedure manual (and one that ís in line with the company’s style as well).

An unlimited number of templates can be created and used, giving you absolute layout freedom for your manuals.

A big problem in procedure control is users printing parts of the manual which then are outside the centralized control of the system. With WebISO this can be easily solved by adding a standard watermark phrase to the template used for printing: "This printed document is an uncontrolled version."

WebISO can also be delivered with an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) interface. This technology makes it possible to attach meta-information to documents, or to bind structural information to document templates. Enabling a fast XML search engine for metadata retrieval can make users more efficient and productive.

Version control
In managing procedure manuals, it is extremely important to be able to track the history of any given procedure. Tight, accurate tracking is a vital feature of webISO.

Every modification on a document leading to a new version is stored in the database. If needed, webISO can show the differences between the two versions (color coded for easy reference).

More importantly, WebISO can show the differences (deltas) between the different versions. This makes it possible to roll back to an older version if needed, effectively keeping the history of a document at your fingertips.

Of course, an overview of the different versions (numbered automatically) is also available for each document, with information on who made modifications, added comments or took action and precisely when any activity occurred.

Multiple formats
WebISO can automatically generate a procedure manual in both HTML and PDF (Acrobat) format. (HTML is the web-based format best suited for intranet as well as extranet activities, and is consulted using a standard internet browser.)

HTML also allows people outside the company to work with WebISO or to consult published manuals in complete security (via extranet functionality).

PDF is the file format used by Adobe Acrobat, and is effectively an electronic paper format. The advantage of this format is that the document cannot be easily modified after it has been printed electronically (the document also has the same look as if it were printed on paper). In addition, you can put files in this format on a CD for use by people not connected to your network.

The software needed to read PDF files is called Acrobat Reader. It ís free to use and can be easily downloaded and installed from the Adobe web site. You can also read PDF files on other devices besides PCs, such as modern mobile phones or PDAs (personal Digital Assistants).

Integrated search engine
Of course every procedure manual should have a good index in order to make it easy to find the right documents. And it ís efficient to be able to quickly locate documents related to a certain subject. Here’s where a search engine comes in handy.

WebISO’s integrated search engine provides precise functionality. Just type in a word or set of words, and you will get, as a result, all documents related to the search term, sorted in order of relevance.

If your organization already has a search engine on your intranet, that engine can be integrated into WebISO.

SOLUTION

There Are Two Ways To Start Saving Time And Money With WebISO...

WEBISO Enterprise Solution
solutionso_own
Running the WEBISO system in the Enterprise model means that an organization has installed the system on their corporate servers.

In the Enterprise Model, WEBISO provides the organization with a system on CD-Rom (or via FTP Download) that can be installed on a single licensed server within the organization.

All users of the WEBISO system then log into the organization’s server via a web browser through the corporate Intranet (or Internet if the organization prefers to have the system available online).

System requirements for the servers and software required to run the Enterprise model are available through WEBISO.
